We also need suggestions on what the contest will be. Usually we do a non-premium building.

My vote is for Springfield Lake since it's winter for most of us and it will bring a little green to the forum. The lake was free to all, wasn't it.

Edit: Also, not it :mrgreen:

Pinpal00 threatened to host a SF Heights Area contest post-Winter update. I like the idea, but see two issues: might be a little tough for people to stitch together the entire area - probably 16 screenshots or so to capture all of the land. I know many don't have the ability/knowledge to stitch themselves.

The other problem is that Pinpal shouldn't be the one hosting that contest - his heights design is truly amazing and must be included (but hosts don't participate in contests).

Didn't 4j3k express a desire to host a Monorail contest? Could be just the stations or the entire system, but again, lots of stitching for the latter.

I'd certainly be happy to host myself - we would just need to decide on subject matter and see if there'd be any interest. The speculated Space update might be a fun one . . .

SF Lake would be a nice, open-ended idea! :thumbup:

It was free, but limited (episode tie-in?). I'd assume most tappers have it.

Another problem with the SF Heights contest is, for me at least, I don't have any SF Heights buildings in that area. My SF Heights area is where all "rural" items are.

Edit: And I was thinking of Lake Springfield. I think it was one of the SF Heights prizes now that I think of it.

Oops, I was thinking of the Ancient Ornamental Pond as that tie-in item. Lake Springfield is the 3rd SF Heights prize (200 Million), which could exclude people who aren't that far.

And I don't think a SF Heights contest would require tappers to utilize SFH items - just show off what you did with the space kind of thing.

we could use topics each time, so its not bound to premium items, but focusing on non premiums as you said would work as well^^ i saw a contest on another side which would recquire you to post your forest (-area), really liked this idea. no matter what, ill join :D

SH contest:

3 different categories you can join.

Category A: condo and mansions
Category B: SH nature (think of beach, Springfield lake etc...
Category C: landing zone/SH tunnel

Each category would have a round of voting.

I would love to join the contest.

Since all voting is public - I suggest etting the host participate. Pinpal and SWK designs need to be included.

I like the SF Lake, Monorail Terminal and Tunnel ideas. All good ones
